Edith made memorandum of the
various assignments, and placed the
card which he gave her in her pocket
book.
p "You can write your copy up here"
said the city editor as she was leaving.
Make neat little story of the exhibi.
ton" E-a3
81 will do my BEST" she said, and left
the Office.
She was passionateIy fond OF horses,
but the lowing, excited cattle at the
drove yard, and the rough men, the
mud and the CRIME dismayed her.
The coarse butchers checked their
boisterous talk as she approached, and
hats were lnvoluntarily raised.
Her wonanliness had conquered their
rough natures, and when she tinidly
made known her mission q dozen
volunteered to give her the requisite
information, and the old composition
who put the cattle market in type that
night declared that the new reporter
was "rustler and understood her
business"
There was quite a crowd at Ellerton s
to view the trotting horses, and among
the number was Percy Keith, kid
gloved and fanltlessly attired.
Before her fathers death he had been
Edith's devoted admirer, and she had
thought that in time she might learn to
love the young millionaire.
She approached him with a smile of
confidence.
Percy" she said, 81 am a reporter
on the Daily Itensizer, and you must tell
me all about these horses"
"Aw!" he said, staring at her in
amazement. "I-ah-beg pardonI Ex-
cuse me-"
And he dived among the crowd,
leaving her standing there alone, with
the tears of modification in her eyes at
his cruel rebuff.
When she turned away to hide her
modification, she came face to face with
Manley Stewart, whose eyes met hers
pityingly.
1.-THE insolent hound!" he whispered
in voice of suppressed passion. "it
was brutall"
When fortune takes to itself wings,
our friends desert u.s." said Edith, with
q faint smile.
did Brown dare to send you heref"
continued Manley.
He gave me the cattle and horse
markets to report" she answered. You
yourself told me that journalism was a
thorny path"
He WINGED at being thus quoted, and
giving her his arm, led her into the
Office of the stable.
Miss Sherwood-Edith," he said,
when they were alone, II knew your
father we'll, and you have my sym
pathy."
He was about to say something else,
but she interrupted him.
Perhaps you can tell me all about
the horses2" she said.
And this question, and her honest
blue eyes looking straight into his, so
him that the words which
were hot upon his lips were left IN
spoken.
He gave her the necessary informa-
ton, and when she had completed her
notes, escorted her to a car.
81 will see Brown tonight" he said,
land you shall be given something
more eongenial tomorrow, if you are
still determined to pursue journalism"
II am not dismayed." she said. ut

A man was given the horse and cattle
market to report the next day, and
Edith had consigned to her more con-
genial work.
She liked reporting, and in three
months time even City Editor Brown
was forced to acknowledge that she was
the best writer on his staff-shrinking
FROM no task, and competent to perform
any.
One day, however, she caught cold,
and the fol- wing morning her body was
racksd with the torture of fever.
She was i'll for several weeks, and
Manley Stewart was her daily visitor.
One day, when she was convalesc@t,
he took her thin hand IN his, and his
rich voice trembled.
Edith" he said, II must tell you
how 1 feel. love you and want you to
be my wife. You have succeeded in
your chosen profession, and the future
has many triumphs in store for you.
We will work together-shsll we, my
darling, shall WEI"
Yes" was her simple answer.
When, two years after her marriage,
famous, courted by society, proud
wife and happy mother, she attended
Q great party and were lionized by every
body, Percy Keith, who was still un-
married, pressed to her side and sought
recognition on the score of old friend =
ship.
He addressed her. and at the sound
of his voice the scene at the horse ex
hibltion was recalled to her.
Jaw" said she, initiating his voice
on that occasion. 'I-ah-beg; please
excuse mel" and turned to continue
the conversation with a group of her
admirers.
The young nillionaire's face flushed
at the cut direct, and something like
curse escaped him as he hurried
away.
II was fool" he muttered.
But Manley Stewart, who had been a
witness of the little by-play. and had
overheard the discounted mans ejacu-
Iation, smiled triumphantly and
shrugged his shoulders in silent sat
lsfaction. -Pittsburg Leader.

LETTER FROM FORT MILL.


FORT MILL, January 24.-Clover seems
not to appreciate the benefits of a primary
election. It is a pity the managers there
did not give the people chance to exer-
else their authority on the 14th instant.
Such conduct, or misconduct, ought not to
be tolerated. The people should have every
opportunity to express their desires. and
any attempt to circumvent them should be
mathematical.
Cherokee township seems to be in trouble
about this matter. 1t is pity that breth-
rem cannot dwell together in unity, or in
Cherokee either. If that letter and tele-
gram both were forged, the author ought
to be subject to social ostracism; but Mr.:
Crosby ught to havesigned the pledge and
saved trouble.
It is suggested by "many voters" here
that other elections are now in order, but
we will mention them hereafter. The cut
off" wants it understood that these elec-
tions are not to be lightly considered.
The c., C. & C.. r. R. Co. have been con-
sidering their route for long time. Can
thew not come to a conclusion? 1t is utter fol-
ly for them to expect that other townships,
than those through which the route may
lie, should subscribe to the construction OF
the road and I understand Mr.. Spencer has
repeatedly told them so. 1ftheyare going to
build the road, they ought to do so and be
done with it, then people would know
what to depend on-otherWise everything
is uncertain and unsatisfactory.
There is no news here. No business IS
being done, and nobody seems to care much
about it.
The new council have built bridge
over a ditch, which is about all the I'M
provement in town now. ANON.

LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, January 24.-During the lat
ter part of last week the weather was spring
like and was enjoyed very much after, the
severe cold weather of the previous week.
Our community has been considerably eX-
cited over the attempted assassination OF
Mrs. Riles, and every means is being taken
to find out the guilty party. The town
council has offered reward of $25 for the
apprehension and evidence to convict the
guilty persons. AS yet no clue has been
obtained and the matter is still mystery.
Measles and whooping cough are prevail
ing in this section to 81 alarming extent.
In some instances entire families are down
with one or the other complaint. Mr.. Sam
uel Anderson, a promising young farmer OF
this township, died on last Monday morn
ing from measles. He left wife and six
small children. On Saturday afternoon his
oldest daughter, bright little girl eleven
years of age, died from the same disease.
Edmund, son of Rev. +. n. Joyner, OF this
place, is dangerously sick with Whooping
cough.
>The smoke-house of Mr.. j. Lawrence
Moore, in this place, was entered by thief
a few nights ago, and several hams and
shoulders were stolen. The entrance was
made by picking hole in the brick wall.
Mr.. Moore's smoke-house has thus been
robbed successively every year for the past
ten years.

SHOT IN THE HANDS.

About noon last Saturday, near Fort Mill,
Master Robert G. Moore, aged about l3 years, son
of Mr.. J. Rufus Moore, of this place, while out
hunting with his friend Master Willie P. Har-
rison, aged about II years, son of Rev. D. Har-
rison, was accidentally shot in both hands. He
had mounted stump to try to discover his COM
panion from whom he became separated, and in
lowering his gun to the ground, it is supposed
the hammer struck the stump, which caused the
explosion, the charge wounding both hands,
taking off the first joint of the first finger, and
two joints of the second finger of the right hand,
and laceraing the leshy part of the left hand be-
low the little finger, the shot coming out at the
palm. He was taken to Fort Mill, where Dr. S.
A. Kel gave him temporary attendance, not
having time to properly dress the wounds before
the arrival of the down train, on which he re-
turned to Yorkville. Arriving home Saturday
evening, he was placed under the care of Drs. j..
R. and AndraI Bratton, the latter of whom
dressed the wounds in most satisfactory man

steps in search of the money, but failed to
find it. Saturday night, Joe Brown, color

noticed to be rather flush with money. Later
in the night posse visited Browns house,
arrested him and found on his person $40
in five dollar bills. He admitted to having
found the money. He was taken to the
guard-house and locked up for the night.
On Sunday morning he was released after
promising to refund the missing -, Which
he said he had spent.
on last Thursday the factory whistle blew
ten minutes before 12 o'clock, the dinner
hour. and the operatives marched in single
file into the Office, followed by President
Hutchison and Mr. J. r. Niesler, the super
intendent, these two officials being anxious
to ascertain the trouble, and perhaps think
ing a strike was at hand. The operatives
requested to be permitted to hold meet

ned a young man with gold-headed cane,
and in few well-chosen remarks presented
it to Mr.. Niesler as testimonial of the high
regard and esteem in which he is held by
the operatives.

On last Saturday morning Master Quay Nc

shooting birds in the lot southeast of and adj
joining the Kings Mountain Military School
grounds. On the lot is an unused we'll which
for sometime has remained uncovered. Quay
was not very far from this old we'll and on line
with tand bird which he spied on limb. In
order to secure better aim with his gun he decid-
ed to fall back a few steps, which movement he
hastily executed, but unfortunately, in his eX-
citement, he struck the we'll and went down a
distance of 27 feet 7 feet of which was water.
He, however, rose to the surface OF the water
and had the presence of mind to climb up
the wall, extricating himself from his perilous
position without receiving hurt, though he
broke his gun part of which is at the bottom

this point the masked men were reinforced
by six assistants. The robbers then went
through the express car, taking all the mon
ey and valuables in the safe, the amount
being estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000,
although the Pacific Express officials re-
fuse to state the amount stolen. The rob-
bers then proceeded to the mail car, where
they got twenty-eight registered packages.
